Arrested German spy was a onetime gay porn actor — and a secret Islamist***2016-11-30 Washington Post BERLIN — Two weeks ago, German
intelligence agents noticed an unusual user in a chat room known as a
digital hideout for Islamic militants. The man claimed to be one of them
— and said he was a German spy.

He was offering to help Islamists
infiltrate his agency’s defenses to stage a strike.

Agents lured
him into a private chat, and he gave away so many details about the spy
agency — and his own directives within it to thwart Islamists — that
they quickly identified him, arresting the 51-year-old the next day.

Only then would the extent of his double life become clear.

The
German citizen of Spanish descent confessed to secretly converting to
Islam in 2014. From there, his story took a stranger turn. Officials ran
a check on the online alias he assumed in radical chat rooms.

- The
married father of four had used it before — as recently as 2011 — as his
stage name for acting in gay pornographic films.
